Which one is most reactive towards SN1 reaction?

  • C6H5CH(C6H5)Br

  • C6H5CH(CH3)Br

  • C6H5C(CH3)(C6H5)Br

  • C6H5C(CH3)(C6H5)Br


C.

C6H5C(CH3)(C6H5)Br

SN1 reaction involves the formation of carbocation intermediate. More the stability of carbocation more is the reactivity of alkyl/aryl halides towards SN1 reaction. 

The intermediate carbocations formed by given halides as:
 


Thus, C6H5C(CH3)(C6H5)Br is most reactive towards SN1 reaction.

Which of the following reactions is an example of nucleophilic substitution reaction?

  • RX + KOH → ROH + KX

  • 2RX + 2Na → R- R 

  • RX + H2 → RH + HX

  • RX + H2 → RH + HX


A.

RX + KOH → ROH + KX

Nucleophilic substitution reactions involve substitution (replacement) of a group or atom by a nucleophile.

KOH → K+ + OH-

RX + OH- → R - OH + KX


Nucleophiles are either negative charge or a lone pair of electrons bearing species, OH- etc.

Consider the following reaction,

ethanol space rightwards arrow with PBr subscript 3 on top space straight X space rightwards arrow with alc. space KOH on top space straight Y space rightwards arrow from left parenthesis ii right parenthesis space straight H subscript 2 straight O comma space heat to left parenthesis straight i right parenthesis space straight H subscript 2 SO subscript 4 of space straight Z semicolon
the product Z, is

  • CH2 = CH2

  • CH3CH2-O-CH2-CH3

  • CH3-CH2-O-SO3H

  • CH3-CH2-O-SO3H


D.

CH3-CH2-O-SO3H

i) PBr3 is a halogenating agent, ie, converts -OH group into -Br

ii) Alc. KOH is a dehydrohalogenation agent.

iii) H2SO4 and H2O converts an olefin into alcohol
